Dear Friends,
We have received pictures of the work done by
the Bob Jones’ students. They have been
a wonderful blessing. Bob Jones
University is located in Greenville, SC.
Dr. David Smith, who is directing the work for
ORH, spoke over the phone about the hard work of the young people. He said they were stripping out the church
damage and preparing it for reconstruction.
David said that their enthusiasm and hard work was great.
After the students are finished, the hard work
to rebuild begins. We want to say thank
you to the students and Bob Jones.
Please download the PDF to see pictures of their efforts.
Gantt Street Baptist now has almost 52 pallets of
food and water in their fellowship hall.
They will be distributing this to those still in need. Pray for the good work of this church and
Anchor Baptist Missions. And thanks to
all who have contacted ORH about trucks of supplies to deliver.
It is always wonderful to work with good
people. Trinity Baptist Church in
Williamston, SC is one of those groups of good people. Read Pastor Robbie Robertson’s report to ORH.
“Hey
Brother Jan, Just wanted to let you know that a business man in our church
(wholesale grocer) donated a tractor trailer load of water last week which was
transported by Bro Barton's ministry to Gantt St BC. Also a customer of the same grocery store
donated a second trailer load of water which was delivered to Lykesland BC on
Monday to the Hearts with Hands distribution team in a donated tractor trailer
from Pulliam Trucking in Greenwood and it was driven by my Father. Today he is taking a trailer load of water
and supplies that have been collected at the trucking company to a Red Cross
drop-off in Charleston after being contacted by them needing these
supplies. Also, several local churches
have networked together (White Plains BC in Pelzer, Trinity BC in Williamston
and East Georgia Rd Baptist in Simpsonville) have collected nearly 500 cases of
water and distributed to the midlands through different work teams. NO recognition needed just letting you know
about these other efforts. Robbie
Robertson, www.trinity-bc.org”
Also, please read Pastor Westmoreland of Sumter
Baptist Temple, Sumter, SC. Although his
church was not damaged some of his people have been evacuated from their homes.
“Both of
the Burdick’s homes were completely flooded under several feet of water on
10/04/2015. Ken and Tammy have flood
insurance. The parents (Jim and Evelyn)
do not. Ken and Tammy are shouldering
the burden of rebuilding his parent’s home.
Ken and
Tammy are faithful members of our church for many years. They have a great testimony on our
community. Ken organizes and runs our
men’s prayer breakfasts and is a police officer at SPD. Tammy is a nurse at Tuomey Hospital in
Sumter. These are fine Christian folks,
and Ken’s parents are very sweet people as well, though dementia affects them
both.”
We want to help this family, if you make it
possible.
If you would like to form a work team to help
any of these people please consider the following.
Before making plans please contact Operation
Renewed Hope at 910-987-5072 and Pastor David Smith at 803-665-2919.
We suggest the following course of action. 1. Please put together teams that can work
with studding, insulation, sheetrock, and finishing of sheetrock. 2. Also, I would suggest that one person find
out the length of time for the newly exposed studs to dry before covering them
with new sheetrock. 3. I would also
recommend that when the teams come that they attempt to help with the materials
that the team will install.
Please, talk with Pastor Smith about your
intentions and plans, ORH personnel will be in the Philippines with one of our
medical teams from October 24 til December 1.
His email is dbs@gbcwc.org.
Again, thank God for those who are helping. Please download the PDF for publication to
the church.
